​Schneider has been New Jersey’s linchpin this season with a 26-23-6 record, a .923 save percentage and 2.17 goals against average.

The team recalled veteran goalie Yann Danis from AHL Albany on Saturday, and backup Keith Kinkaid struggled in the Devils’ 6-1 loss to the Pittsbugh Penguins on Sunday, stopping 24 of 30 shots and falling to 5-6-1 on the season.

The Devils, in the middle of a 2-8-0 slide, sit six points out of the Eastern Conference’s second wild card spot with 15 games remaining in the regular season.
